You are confusing results with how they are obtained. You don't like the fact that Connecticut passed a law you don't like. If you lived in Connecticut, your remedy would be to vote the suckers who passed the law out and change it. That's the way it should have worked. But, no, the SCOTUS stepped in. Now they get to decide all these things. That's very dangerous because it means the SCOTUS is now legislating from the bench. Even Bush claims he's against that.

Well, the power of constitutional review is a power we gave the SC in the constitution. You don't like that power, fine, ammend the constitution. I think it is about right. Some of the results we may disagree with, but the principal of striking down unconstitional laws. I have no problem with it whatsoever.
